The director is very insightful into human nature. Death is something that one does not have to worry about but cannot escape (Shi Tiesheng said the same thing) love, family, and self-discovery. To a certain extent, the self is the entire universe, and people understand the knowledge of the outside world. There are too many, and there is so little about the self. Maybe the cold has given Canadians a kind of cold thinking. The life without reflection is not worth living. There are many points that hit my heart.

One Week quotes

  • Narrator: When you get those rare moments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you try desperately to hold on to them. They are the life boats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely illusive. So the question becomes, or should have been all a long... What would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live. What life boat would you grab on to? What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfil? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?

    [Written on a black board: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."]

    Narrator: What would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live?

    Doctor: I'm afraid it's not great news. We've picked up cancerous cells in your blood, your liver, and your lymph nodes. We need to get you into treatment right away.

    Ben Tyler: How bad is it?

    Doctor: It's stage four.

    Ben Tyler: How many stages are there?

    Doctor: Four.
